UP!
I'm testing Tracker again on Hardy alpha.
I have about 100GB of data in my home... mixed videos,images,music and text files.
I'm not a developer and I have disabled indexing of ~/Downloads/SRC that is the folder where I keep sofware sources.
I've also removed .cache/tracker before starting indexing.
On first run tracker cpu usage is about 25% and sometimes reaches 50% (core2duo 1.8Ghz) and obviously slowed down my system.
I wonder how an app working this way coul be called "ready for everyday usage"...

It's since tracker was added to feisty repo that many people have this kind of problems...
Do you still think they could be fixed or it's time to look for an alternative?
I think it's hard for non-geek users to disable or remove tracker so don't enable it by default (until these issues are fixed) or use Beagle instead!
